'56 Chevy Panel build (SLP)

[GRIMSS]

Well with the purchase of the suspension I’ve decided to go ahead and start a build thread. I’ll start from the beginning just to document it all on one page.
In high school I would drive buy this little old junk yard that was in a town of around 900. I kept eying this panel that was barely visible.

This was what it looked like from the street.



3rd year of college I decided to talk to the guy and ended up buying it for $50. Turned out to be a ’56 chevy ½ panel. Last time it was on the road from the plate was ’68.
It took 6hrs to get it out of the junk yard and to the farm only 8 miles away. More junk yard shots. It was full of engine parts he was storing. And it was covered in moss.





I used an old axle that my dad had lying around to transport it once out on the farm. Here are pics of it after I scraped most of the moss off.
